Yes, you can choose B.Sc. (Bachelor of Science) instead of B.Tech during the counselling process at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University (DDU Gorakhpur), but it depends on the specific admission guidelines for the academic year and the programs available. Here's how the process generally works:
1. Admission Process at DDU Gorakhpur:
DDU Gorakhpur offers admissions to both B.Sc. and B.Tech. programs, but they are typically part of separate streams. Here's a breakdown:
- B.Tech admissions are generally through the UPSEE (Uttar Pradesh State Entrance Exam) or other entrance exams if specified.
- B.Sc. admissions are typically based on merit, considering your Class 12th marks in relevant subjects (e.g., Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics).
2. Counselling Procedure:
- B.Tech Admissions: For B.Tech, you must first appear for the UPSEE (or any other entrance exam) and then participate in the counselling process for seat allocation.
- B.Sc. Admissions: For B.Sc., counselling is based on your Class 12th marks in the required subjects. The admission procedure will be specific to DDU Gorakhpur's guidelines.
3. Switching Between Courses (B.Tech and B.Sc.):
During Counselling: If you are attending the UPSEE counselling for B.Tech and later decide to opt for B.Sc. instead, this may be possible depending on the availability of seats and the program rules for that academic year.
- If you're offered a seat in B.Tech but later wish to change to B.Sc., it would depend on whether the college allows such changes during counselling. Some institutions allow students to opt for different courses, while others may have a strict policy based on the entrance exam results or category.
Separate Streams: If you're attending a counselling session for B.Sc. (direct admission through merit, not entrance exam-based), you would not be automatically allowed to switch to B.Tech since B.Tech admissions are generally entrance-based.
4. Important Points to Consider:
- Seat Availability: There might be limited seats in either B.Tech or B.Sc., and the availability of your preferred course will depend on the seat matrix at the time of counselling.
- Admission Guidelines: Read the admission brochure carefully, as each course (B.Sc. vs B.Tech) may have different requirements and criteria for seat allocation and counselling.
- Course Eligibility: Ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for the course you wish to pursue. For example, for B.Sc., you would typically need to have studied Science subjects in Class 12, whereas for B.Tech, you would need to have the required entrance exam score.
- Counselling Order: If you're attending UPSEE counselling, and you want to switch courses, you will need to clarify with the counselling authorities whether this is permissible, as some universities allow course switching within the first few rounds of admission, while others don't.
5. Contact the Admission Office:
To avoid confusion and ensure a smooth process, it's best to directly contact the DDU Gorakhpur admission office for specific information about the possibility of switching courses during the counselling process.
- Phone: You can reach out to the university's helpline or admission office for guidance on how to proceed.
- Email: Alternatively, you can email the university's admission department for more clarification on this matter.
